Even a rose has thornsPetals like a mystic light,As beautiful as a moonlit night.Colors like a spectrum glow,Oh! How ravishing the show.Fragrance like a sweet child's smile,Making one's life worthwhile.Symbolizes love and peace,Putting all the hatred to cease.Looks of a peaceful morn,But, even a rose has thorns.Tanmayi, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Edison, New Jersey, USA
